Sony Pictures Virtual Reality has partnered with Specular Theory’s Popstic™ VR game to create Hotel Transylvania Popstic, an exciting new VR music game designed exclusively for VR arcades that’s fun for the whole family.

Featuring the popular movie franchise, premium gameplay, and an optional custom peripheral attachment called the Popstic™, Hotel Transylvania Popstic is a new take on music rhythm games, built for all ages and skill levels. It’s easy to learn but challenging to master, making it super fun and addicting to play.

Players can choose their favorite characters from the world of Sony Pictures Animation’s Hotel Transylvania and connect with them in a VR world. Select Mavis, Drac or Johnny to become your DJ, then select songs from their playlist inspired by the character’s personality. Griffin (the Invisible Man) guides you throughout the game with helpful tips and fun commentary.

The goal of the game is use your agility and dancing skills to move in time with the music, hitting incoming targets and avoiding obstacles. Play the game in Wands mode using two Vive controllers, or in Popstic mode with one Vive controller. Popstic mode is optional, but we highly recommend it. To play in Popstic mode, you will need our special peripheral accessory, the Popstic, which can easily and quickly be popped on and off a single Vive controller. To play, you hold the Popstic with both hands like a staff.
